Fairy, return my flying sword to me

Chapter 171: You offended the abbot and still want to leave?

It was late at night and the temple was completely silent.

Perhaps they had never imagined that a small sect like theirs that lived in seclusion from the world would one day be coveted by outsiders. They did not even spot any patrolling monks along the way.

Occasionally, monks who got up at night were unaware of Fairy Hongxia's most skilled invisibility.

Only at this last moment, when he was closest to the goal, did Lin Jian hesitate.

"It's the middle of the night now, that old monk shouldn't still be sitting in there, right?"

"Impossible! He's not that bored!" The Imperial Master was the first to take the lead and walk forward. "The believers haven't even arrived yet, so why is he still guarding inside? Go! I'll clear the way for you!"

Everyone deliberately avoided the two golden Buddha statues, fearing that they would suddenly create a strange phenomenon and expose them.

When he arrived at the door of the Great Compassion Hall, Lin Jian looked at the pitch-black hall inside and felt a little nervous.

Coming to Minguang Temple late at night, the sense of security that I felt during the day from the Buddha's light faded a lot.

As a result, Lin Jian became more and more concerned about the chill in his heart that he felt at the beginning.

In the darkness of the night, the Great Compassion Hall was pitch black like a giant beast with its bloody mouth wide open, waiting for the ignorant monks to fall into its trap.

Lin Jian uneasyly probed his spiritual sense, and heard a sticky whisper close by, "There's no one in there, I've checked."

A sweet and moist breath hit the back of my ears, and Lin Zhong felt as if an electric current flashed through my body in an instant, making my whole body numb and ethereal.

Lin Jian also wants to join Hua Xiaodie's camp... Fairy Hongxia is so old now, can she stop thinking about so much bitterness all day long?
What's the critical moment now? Are you still using some little charm tricks?
Wait a minute... doesn't she think this is more exciting?
Turning around, I saw that the older pervert had blurred and misty eyes, and looked like he was enjoying it extremely.

The elders of the large sects who protect the human world have only pursued so much, and Lin Jian once again believed that the world of immortal cultivation is doomed.

With this inexplicable anger, Lin Jian stepped into the Great Compassion Hall.

There was no one in the hall.

Only the scriptures covering the wall emitted a faint golden light...just like the last time I came.

In this late night with no complicated people around, the flow of spiritual power in Lin Jian's eyes appeared clearer.

As expected, the main hall where the old monk personally presided over the ceremony was indeed the last and most important link in the entire magic circle.

Each of the scriptures scattered throughout the hall embodies a special spiritual power, and they continue to perform some special operations even at night.

Refining...

What are they refining?
And the final result...

Lin Jian's gaze fell on the jade bottle held in the hand of the Buddha statue in the Great Compassion Hall.

It's right there.

Just like a furnace used for alchemy, the final elixir will be placed in a special small warming grid, which is the so-called elixir-making room.

That jade bottle is the "alchemy room" of this huge magic circle.

The Imperial Master understood and asked, "Is that it?"

Lin Jian nodded.

After getting Lin Jian's consent, the national teacher flew up, and after observing for a while, he actually used his true energy to take out a drop of golden-white milk full of Buddha's light and righteousness from the jade bottle.

"Is this what they're after?" The Imperial Master used his Qi to lift the milk droplet from thin air, and put it close to his face to observe curiously, "Doesn't it look like something bad?"

Lin Jian recognized the origin of the milk droplet at a glance. "It's a special spiritual treasure refined using the willpower of believers through the true fire of the sun. Judging from its properties, it seems to have the same effect as the elixir that suppressed the demonic energy... but it lacks the original demonic energy as a guide."

"So they're refining elixirs that can suppress demons on a large scale?" The Imperial Master scratched his head. "Did we really misunderstand the old monk?"

"Maybe?" Lin Jian frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong.

The direction of the formation was clear, and the final goal was now before his eyes. Everything was traceable and clear.

But why do I always feel like I'm missing something?
Yes! Something is missing!
But what exactly was missing?

Deep contemplation in the woods.

Suddenly, a thunderclap rang out beside his ears. "Hey! Who are you, little thief, to dare to steal the spiritual treasure at night?"

There was a flash of golden light, and the outside of the door became as bright as day.

"We've been discovered!" Everyone felt a pang of fear in their hearts.

"There are still restrictions on the jade bottle!" The National Master spoke first.

"Nonsense." Fairy Hongxia rolled her eyes.

As the most important and core place in the entire magic circle, it was already very lax without anyone guarding it.

If there is no restriction to protect it, the monk who set up this entire magic circle will die.

They never thought that the whole process could go on without attracting anyone's attention, as long as they were given enough time to find out the truth before that.

Now, the answer has been found.

It's time to show our cards.

The Imperial Master took the lead and was the first to walk out of the Great Compassion Hall, followed closely by Lin Jian.

As soon as I went out, I saw a circle of bald heads shining in the golden light.

The bald man in the lead was very aggressive, with the aura of the Nascent Soul stage surging. He paused for a moment when he saw the National Master and Lin Jian, and then his aura became even more ferocious.

"I knew you were no good!" The abbot's eyes were blazing with anger, and he looked at the Imperial Master with murderous eyes.

Looking at the milk droplet hanging in the palm of the Imperial Master's hand, the abbot said coldly, "Put the magic treasure back to me!"

"We are not thieves!" The Imperial Master flipped his palm and put the milk drop into a small jade bottle he carried with him. He took a step forward and said, "It's just that I haven't confirmed the specific effects of this magic treasure yet, so I can't return it for the time being."

The two Jindan-stage cultivators beside the abbot saw the Imperial Master's actions and approached the abbot, whispering, "How audacious of a thief to take away the spiritual treasure right in front of you, abbot!"

"He's playing tricks on you, Abbot."

The abbot also took a step forward with a cold face. "Grand Master, I advise you not to act rashly! Otherwise, even if we monks of Mingguang Temple are not good at fighting, you may not be able to get away with it!"

"That's right! You want to run away after offending the abbot?"

"Our Eighteen Bronze Men Formation of Mingguang Temple is no pushover!"

"Oh?" Fairy Hongxia finally stepped out slowly with her bare jade feet. "What about me?"

As she spoke, Fairy Hongxia deliberately released the pressure of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

A pink glow rose from behind him, seemingly competing with the Buddha's light in the sky.

Even better in a subtle way...

"Nascent Soul stage!"

"This thief actually asked a powerful Yuanying stage expert to help him!"

"Can we defeat Abbot? Or we can just turn a blind eye. They only took one drop anyway, so let them go..."

The abbot's face darkened and he stepped forward. "You're going too far! I've noticed you're a shifty old man from the beginning. I won't let you get away with it today!"
